What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Risk perception refers to an individual's subjective judgment and evaluation of the characteristics and severity of risk-related matters, serving as a crucial predictive factor influencing personal health behaviors and self-management capabilities. Therefore, accurate health risk perception is essential for improving preventive health behaviors and reducing the occurrence of complications in diabetic patients. This study aimed to delve into the current status and factors influencing risk perception of diabetic complications among young and middle-aged patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional survey was adopted to select young and middle-aged patients with T2DM who were admitted to two tertiary hospitals in Zhengzhou, Henan, China, from February 2024 to October 2024. General information questionnaire, risk perception survey-diabetes mellitus (RPS-DM), and Diabetes Self-Efficacy Scale (DSES) were employed for data collection. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Results: A total of 420 valid responses were received. The score of the risk perception survey-diabetes mellitus was 52.32 ± 10.76, and the score of self-efficacy was 22.73 ± 4.49. Pearson correlation analysis revealed a statistically significant positive correlation ( Conclusion: The risk perception level was positively correlated with self-efficacy of diabetes. Patients of lower educational levels, without a family history of diabetes, more than three comorbidities, and lower self-efficacy are indicative of lower levels of risk perception. Identifying these influencing factors can provide references and support for developing individualized support and intervention measures to enhance their awareness and perception of complication risks.
